Pilot and Feasibility Program

Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) awards are intended to provide opportunities for investigators to advance basic, clinical and translational biomedical science by incorporating metabolomic technologies into their research, and to support projects that will provide preliminary data for new extramural proposal submission. Information related to the most recent call for applications my be accessed via our Funding Opportunities page.
